Adorable Twins: A Hunter s Wife Has Space

Chapter 12

Su Li carried the water to Chen Xiang’s house and even poured it into the water vat for her.

Chen Xiang kept nodding and thanking her. Su Li waved her hand indifferently.

“You don’t have to do this. Our families are neighbors to begin with. It’s only right for us to take care of each other.”

Chen Xiang nodded repeatedly.

Su Li had just come out of Chen Xiang’s house when she met He Yufeng.

When He Yufeng saw Su Li coming out of Chen Xiang’s house, he frowned. He felt that Su Li must have gone to find trouble with her again.

He Yufeng said coldly, “Don’t go to other people’s houses to cause trouble in the future. It’s not easy for anyone now. If you do this, it will only make life harder for everyone.”

Su Li rolled her eyes at He Yufeng. She didn’t bully them. Was it really good to blame her for not knowing the truth?

However, Su Li couldn’t be bothered to explain to He Yufeng. She carried the bamboo basket and went home.

He Yufeng looked at Su Li’s back and frowned. Then, he quickly followed.

The moment He Yufeng returned home, the two little guys kept circling around him. From time to time, Su Li would hear them bootlicking.

“Father, this is our gift to you.”

He Dahu and He Erhu took out a grasshopper weaved from straw from their pockets.

He Yufeng took the grasshopper and rubbed their heads. “What good children. Thank you, Father.”

Su Li glanced at the grasshopper. In the afternoon, she saw these two little fellows weaving grasshoppers together. She thought that they were playing by themselves, but she did not expect them to be a gift for He Yufeng.

After Su Li tidied up, she started to cook. Fortunately, He Yufeng was not a fool. After selling the wild boar meat, he bought some rice, brown rice, and flour. Otherwise, there would really be no rice to put in the pot.

Su Li was busy in the kitchen, and He Yufeng followed her. He was afraid that Su Li wouldn’t give them food if he didn’t work!

“Is there anything I can do?”

“Go wash the wild vegetables!”

Su Li impolitely instructed He Yufeng. Since everyone had to eat, what was wrong with doing some work?

Su Li quickly picked up a piece of meat and started cutting it. She had specially asked He Yufeng to leave this meat behind. The children at home were still growing, so it was impossible for them not to eat meat every day.

“How did you become so agile?”

He Yufeng’s voice suddenly sounded behind Su Li. Her hand slipped and she almost cut her finger.

Su Li restrained herself and said, “My movements are not agile mainly depends on my mood.”

Could He Yufeng have seen through something?

Su Li was a little flustered. She was afraid of being splashed with the black dog’s blood because he thought that she was possessed!

He Yufeng did not ask anything else. Su Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

There were not many ingredients at home. Su Li stir-fried a wild vegetable, a meat dish, and baked meat pancakes for the two little fellows.

“How much did you sell the wild boar meat for today?” Su Li asked.

He Yufeng paused in his actions and looked up at Su Li with a cold gaze. “I can’t give you the money this time. We have to pay the monthly fee!”

This time, no matter what method Su Li used, he would not take out the money. If it was like before, they would not even be able to eat this month.

It was getting harder and harder to hunt prey now. All the prey in the vicinity had been hunted. It was more dangerous to enter the depths of the mountains, and the hunts would take even longer. He was worried about the two children.

Su Li knew that He Yufeng had misunderstood her and explained, “You don’t have to be nervous. I’m not asking you for money. I just want to ask if you have enough money to give to your mother. She came over to ask for money. I’ll get her to come and get it when the time is right.”

He Yufeng originally thought that Su Li would make a scene, but he did not expect her to be so calm. This abnormality made him unable to adapt for a while.

Moreover, Su Li didn’t care if they had enough monthly money in the past. She only cared if she could get what she wanted. She wouldn’t even blink if he worked himself to death for her monthly money.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“It’s good that you know.”

Since He Yufeng had said so, Su Li did not say anything else.

After the meal, Su Li walked a few large circles and only stopped when she was drenched in sweat.

After dark, they returned to their rooms to sleep. He Yufeng brought He Dahu and He Erhu to sleep in the east room, while Su Li slept alone in the west room.

Su Li was very grateful to the host for this. Because of her actions, she had a separate space. At least she didn’t have to worry about being discovered when she entered the interspace.

Su Li entered the interspace. After careful consideration, she decided to exchange the restorative incense for chili.

Chilies had not appeared here yet. During the past two days of cooking, she realized that there were pitifully few seasonings. Without seasonings, no matter how good something was, it would not taste good. Therefore, she decided to plant chilies in the backyard.

Chili could be made into dried chili, chili noodles, chili sauce, and so on. When the time comes, she should be able to earn a sum of money by relying on the chili.

Without hesitation, Su Li plucked the restorative incenses planted in the black soil and exchanged them for chili.

The next day.

Su Li woke up early in the morning. When she woke up, He Yufeng was fetching water from outside.

Su Li looked at the water vat in the kitchen. The water vat that she had almost finished using last night was now full. She had to admit that He Yufeng had done well in this aspect. He completed everything that needed to be done.

He Yufeng was a little surprised to see Su Li wake up so early. She used to sleep until late in the morning, but she was already up at dawn?

Did the sun rise from the west today? He Yufeng could not help but look up at the sky.

Su Li pretended not to see his expression and said, “I explored the backyard yesterday. I plan to plant something. It’s best if it can be sold for money. If not, it’s fine we can keep them for ourselves to eat.”

As the saying goes, ‘since it has come, we should make the best of it’, she would take things as they came. Although this family was poor, it was still a place to stay.

He Yufeng had already heard from He Dahu and He Erhu last night that Su Li was working in the backyard. He was usually busy hunting and did not have time to take care of this.

After all, the monthly expenses were so high that it was impossible to grow crops. He could only risk his life to hunt in the mountains.

“Yes, I understand!” He Yufeng replied.

He did not know what Su Li was up to, but from the looks of it, it was changing for the better. As long as she treated the children well, he could tolerate everything else.

After breakfast, Su Li went to the backyard to plant chili. When she returned after planting the chili, she saw that He Yufeng had reclaimed the land in the front yard.

He Dahu and He Erhu each held a sickle in their hands as they helped cut the weeds. Su Li saw that they were not very familiar with the technique. It was obvious that they had just learned it, but the expressions on their faces were very serious.

Su Li couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, children from poor families took charge early.

Su Li went forward and snatched the scythes from their hands. “Give them to me! Go play on the side.”

He Dahu and He Erhu looked at Su Li’s busy back view and started whispering to each other.
